Hey guy's recently I have been marked as noob.
I was wondering what i means and what effects it has!
I'm a good teamplayer (31 recs) and don't think I'm a noob, but who does think this of himself!
Can anybody explain what it is?

lol... don't worry man, it has no effect whatsoever. Its the opposite of recs. When you see somebody do something really noobish, type: !n00b playername reason and press enter. Too see all the people mared a noob in the server, type !shown00bs (i don't remember if its spelled n00b or noob)

Yes indeed it is very harmless because recs are stupid..
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

What is this "looping" tactic you speak of?
|
It's a term used on sniping servers (often on Islands) for people that attack others from behind. It is also mostly used by people that don't have the skill to attack head on. Since it is a bit lame to attack people from behind on a server that is all about aiming skill, gets people pretty pissed most of the time. On the other hand, it is also a good way to get those annoying wall lamers... 
|
So, you're saying that it's a noob tactic to shoot someone from behind? No matter what unit or tank they may have? No matter if they're destroying your base? No matter if they're defending their base and they're the only thing keeping your team from killing their base?
|
I think I was pretty clear on the fact that I am just talking about sniping servers. On AOW servers it is allowed, and in fact smart, to loop, refill, whatever.

It is like an old western shoot out. Both should take 10 steps, turn and shoot. Loopers on the other hand take 5 steps then turn and shoot the other in the back... It is just honourable like refilling during battle.

Alright, so you're saying that when you have 0 ammo in all of your weapons except your pistol, and very low health and you're in the middle of defending your base, you shouldn't refill?
|
Have you ever been to a sniper server? The base can not be destroyed and you don't have pistols. It is just you, your sniper rifle with unlimited ammo and your opponent with the same. Do you know what honour means? It is the opposite of gay.

Who the fuck was talking about sniper servers? I'm talking about a REAL game of Renegade, not some piss-ant version for people who don't know how to use a shotgun or tank.

OMG! Read the whole tread not just the last post before you respond.

People who complain about looping in Islands "sniper" games aren't snipers, they're wall huggers... and they're dead wrong when they say it isn't allowed. If you are only capable of looking in one direction, there is something very seriously wrong with the way you play the game.

Oh dear, I opened a can of worms.
My policy is if you can't watch your rear, thats where I will attack from. Sneaking around players un-noticed then sucessfully attacking them requires practice, and I much prefer it to mashing A and D and shooting wildly down a corridor.
Just a little bit of info, "looping" only because a Renegade term this year, before then people knew you had to watch your ass on the battlefield.
Besides, on islands you can see the opposite corridor, so it's easy to tell when someone is going to make it around. It's always smart to sneak up on your enemy, no matter what kind of server your in.
